went for a quick overnighter after work on a new water i had just had the night ticket for, i knew there was a good number of 30s in there, probably around 10 or so at the right time of the year, and they are averaging around 20+
but its not known as an easy water, but to cut a long story short, i had 3 runs, lost the first, just as i arrived, landed the 2nd and lost the 3rd that happened when i had the fish on the mat
Here she is, a stunning fish and 30lb 12oz, a new pb,
and the lake she inhabits

no idea, i cant do estimating, but i have heard all sorts, 40 acres upto 90acres, its a fair walk round though, blooming fish decided to be at the furthest point from the car park haha,
think it about 40 acres, according to most sources, or 16Ha
so not small, but just a nice size to get you thinkin
